<h2>Humans have an inborn desire to know themselves.</h2>

<h2>Humans have an inborn desire to know themselves.</h2>
<h2>Sports have become not only a discharger of accumulated energy but also a vehicle to show one’s mastery over a simple task, in most cases, of controlling and placing a ball, and a tool to learn controlling one’s body as well.</h2>
<h2>Whether baseball, basketball, tennis, football, soccer, golf, cricket, squash, badminton, handball, bowling, hockey, lacrosse, ping-pong or croquet, pool or billiards, mastery is, or isn’t, a simple thing.</h2>
<h2>Humans are very special beings, in essence more spiritual that we ever thought we are. There are many philosophies about that, the majority complicating one’s search with misconceptions, other obscuring who we really are.</h2>
<h2>The real science is that which clarifies not only who we really are, but that one that provides a path to rid of one’s barriers in the chameleon or labyrinth of one’s life.</h2>
<h2>While that science makes full appearance, tennis, the way I teach it, tending, trending and threading to an extreme simplicity, can lead to great joy. It permits you to feel and strive in that spirit-body connection which is the essence of all great performances in sports.</h2>
<h2>Thought and mechanics can either be aligned or fight each other. Alignment and simplicity brings you more feel, more calmness, closer to your essence, while added data can make you more solid and complicate the task.</h2>
<h2>It seems a conundrum, a complicated matter, but the opposite is truth, a simplicity to honor and behold: we are humans, body and spirit, lovely souls in which the spirit is King!</h2>
<h2>And what is a spirit? Well, JUST FEEL IT!</h2>
<h2>Feel your hands, feel your racquet, feel the ball, feel your body and feel the simplicity. Feel yourself!</h2>

<h1><strong>The Zone</strong></h1>
<h2>Focusing (and the Zone) is basically shutting off the mind and just plainly looking, observing, feeling.</h2>
<h2>You may think it’s like “meditation”, but actually is a shut-off of the mind. In other words, a different kind of operation than what we get used to by thinking.</h2>
<h2>Very young kids are very good at it, until they are “schooled” or taught that thinking is very important. It may be, but in tennis the key is observation (looking) and staying in present time. I usually have players count to five, one exactly at the bounce, then two, three, four and five, five is your stroke.</h2>
<h2>There is so much time in tennis that sometimes you have to make a pause between 4 and 5. This is not immediately grasped, as the mind makes tennis look fast, but the ball, from baseline to baseline, actually loses 60% of the speed, measured on hard courts at the US Open!</h2>
<h2>Serves, coming from higher, lose 55% of the speed.</h2>
<h2>You can count silently. Once you get used to counting, you gradually develop this awareness that time is slower, that time expands.</h2>
<h2>That’s how you get in the Zone, as described by so many great athletes and top tennis players! (and my students)</h2>
<h2>Give counting a try!</h2>

<p>We are a couple in the twin cities area (Saint Paul) and are looking for doubles partners to play with. Our skill level is 3.0 to 4.0 (we think? ha). We are in our 20's and are looking for casual, friendly match or just hitting around. Weeknights would work best, but we have relatively flexible schedules so we can try to accommodate other times as well. Message me or respond if interested! Thanks!</p>

<p>Rallying and match play. Prefer to hit 2-4 hours at a stretch. I don't live in St. Paul, but in the uptown area of Minneapolis, so somewhere around there is preferable, but I'd be willing to travel some. Lets enjoy this short, beautiful summer by hitting some fuzzy yellow balls outdoors!</p>
